This idea came to me when I saw those Mikael Akerfeldt vs. Jon Anderson vs. Mike Oldfield polls and I don't know if this poll is done before but I felt obligated to make this because they are my favourite musicians and vocalists having quite a varied range. But please after voting make your comments about the reasons of your choice and their positive and negative sides.

Devin Townsend seems a little more logical, but I couldn't choose.

Oh...oh dear! This is tricky! As a vocalist I think Devin Townsend definitely wins. Mikael Åkerfeldt can do two things with his voice pretty well, whereas Devin Townsend's voice is much more versatile, I think. As guitarists...I'm not entirely sure, they are very different in style, and it depends on mood, I think. As song-writers...this is very difficult! Again, very different to each other, and both mighty fine. So Townsend is more varied, but I love Åkerfeldt...I'm sorry, this was a rather inconclusive post!

Well Devin has a unique vocal range from operatic singing to screaming, from clean to brutal etc. He is an incredible vocalist! But on the otherside Mikael Akerfeldt can load so much meaning and passion to his both clean vocal and growls. I don't know I guess this post is really inconslusive.

Very tough call. Both are very good songwriters. Both are good guitarists. Both are diverse and capable singers. Both are good frontment. Both have a cool sense of humour. But because Opeth are closer to my heart than SYL or The Devin Townsend Project, I have to say Mikafeld.
